Korean crisis: Trump 'sends in three aircraft carriers'

The strike group, including the 97,000-ton carrier and its 60-plus aircraft, the guided-missile destroyers USS Wayne E. Meyer and USS Michael Murphy and the guided-missile cruiser USS Lake Champlain, will arrive off the Korean Peninsula by the end of April, multiple United States defense officials toldCNN.

According The New York Times, the White House said it got its information from the U.S. Department of Defense.

By conducting joint exercises with the Maritime Self-Defense Force and through other means, the US aircraft carrier strike group is poised to increase military pressure on North Korea and urge Pyongyang to engage in restraint.

Initially, U.S. Pacific Command said it "ordered the Carl Vinson Strike Group north [from Singapore] as a prudent measure to maintain readiness and presence in the Western Pacific".

The U.S.is trying to ratchet up pressure on North Korea to abandon its nuclear weapons and ballistic missile programmes.

The reports come after military forces in South Korea and the USA announced on Sunday that they had recorded a failed test launch of a ballistic missile from Pyongyang.
